10:16 pm
placing a security camera on top of the new speed camera on racetrack road. >> that photographs at the base of the camera to no. 1, record any activity of someone that may try to tamper with the camera and no. 2, to try to dissuade someone from maybe doing that kind of thing. >> reporter: what do you think about that? >> i guess it's a good idea if people are vandalizing them. >> reporter: the speed cameras cost up to $100,000 apiece. >> looking at it from a taxpayer standpoint the more that they tear up, the more taxes come out of my pocket. >> reporter: this is the first, but prince george's county police are promising it won't be the last of these cameras watching their speed cameras hoping to have a dozen more up and rolling by the end of the year. major liberati says the speed cameras are positioned for a reason, this one on wind brook drive in clinton put here after two pedestrians were killed on this road this summer. >> our goal is to brick down

10:18 pm
track circuits and automatic train control system or atc. following the crash the national transportation safety board made developing a realtime monitoring system an urgent recommendation. now metro has one. >> there's a problem in the atc system in terms of where the trains are located. it alerts us right away. >> reporter: this animation shows what happened in the 2009 crash. notice as the front train enters the faulty track circuit, the computer system fails to detect it and automatically accelerates the next train as if there is no other train on the track causing the collision. having a realtime monitoring system in place now could prevent another deadly accident. . >> it really watches this system to see that a train that is moving along suddenly doesn't disappear from the system. >> reporter: prior to this no such realtime monitoring system
10:19 pm
existed, not at metro or anywhere in the country. >> that technology makes you feel like those kind of accidents won't occur in the future. >> to see them i'm 100% sure that it's going to work as it's supposed to. i'm a little bit skeptical. >> reporter: the system is a major step toward returning the rail system to automatic train control. trains have been operating in manual mode since the crash which required slower speeds and riders complained of jerking rides. >> doing entirely manual control sounds rather obsolete. >> reporter: metro won't say when it will return to automatic mode. >> certainly this is a step forward in that direction. >> reporter: it still has other ntsb recommendations to complete, but they have now cleared a major hurdle. metro first developed a prototype for this realtime monitoring system in october, 2009, shortly after the red line train crash. it took a year and a half of
